gnus-summary-catchup-and-exit docstring FUD

[jidanni]

We see
   c runs the command gnus-summary-catchup-and-exit, which is an
   interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.

   It is bound to c, Z c, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Exit> <Catchup and exit>.

   (gnus-summary-catchup-and-exit &optional ALL QUIETLY)

   Mark all unread articles in this group as read, then exit.

You mean all VISIBLE articles... if there are 333 unread articles, but
we typed '22 RET' to enter this group, then only those 22 will be marked
read, thank Gawd.

I didn't test with "x" though.

   If prefix argument ALL is non-nil, all articles are marked as read.

This again only include all VISIBLE articles. It just means that it
includes even articles marked E etc. gnus-summary-limit-to-unread in
effect or not... (However it doesn't seem to change the E's...)

And even though it gives the scary
   Mark absolutely all articles as read? (y or n)
It still doesn't touch articles beyond our 22. Thank Gawd.

Anyway, the documentation and y-n questions should be more explicit,
else one fears...

Could you provide a text that would be better?
